Years ago when I taught high school science, I spent 20 minutes of class time once each year.  I issued each student $2,000 in play money and proceeded to take the money back using different "games of chance" found in gambling houses.  This short session (spiced with a couple of magic tricks) was a favorite with the students.  I recovered >90% of all "bets" and urged my students to consider the experience a "life lesson" on gambling of any fashion.

Schools should consider teaching this and other "life lessons" along with subject matter.  This country needs informed, smart young people to remain a thriving free-enterprise capitalistic nation...not degrade into another failed socialist state.  

Adding any type of gambling to the commonwealth is simply taking more money away from the working class to then offer more "benefits" in exchange for re-election.
